Nebraska Cornhuskers Set to Host Penn State Lady Lions at Pinnacle Bank Arena

As the Nebraska Cornhuskers prepare to welcome the Penn State Lady Lions to Pinnacle Bank Arena, fans are anticipating a competitive clash in women's basketball. The Cornhuskers have had a challenging stretch in their recent games, and they will be looking to turn the tide on their home court.

In their last three outings, Nebraska has shown both resilience and areas needing improvement. Against the Michigan Wolverines at home, they put up 59 points but were outpaced by Michigan's 76. Despite a strong second quarter where they scored 21 points, consistency across all quarters was lacking. Their field goal percentage stood at 33 percent with a three-point shooting rate of just 23 percent – numbers that will need an uptick for success against Penn State.

The following game saw an increase in offensive output as Nebraska scored 62 points away against Indiana Hoosiers. However, defense became an issue as they allowed 74 points in return. Their field goal accuracy improved slightly to 40 percent and notably from beyond the arc at nearly 41 percent.

Most recently, facing off against Rutgers Scarlet Knights away from home proved tough for Nebraska with only 45 points scored compared to Rutgers' 57. A slow start saw them trailing early after scoring just five points in the first quarter which set the tone for the rest of the game.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption on familiar ground where fan support can provide an additional boost. The team will need to focus on improving shooting accuracy and maintaining defensive solidity throughout all quarters if they aim to secure a win.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for January 12th at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE. The game is set to tip-off at local time (1:00 AM UTC) and while broadcast networks have not been announced yet, followers should stay tuned for updates on where they can watch this encounter unfold.
